This yard was in desperate need of some tender, love and care, to say the least!! Fences were down, knee high weeds, concrete like soil.....DID I MENTION I WAS 9 MONTHS PREGNANT when we moved into this?! LOL. I desperately wanted a yard our son could enjoy when he began walking! We literally had the weeds gone the weekend of his first birthday party! How is that for timing! We just put in our retaining wall out of railroad ties! Pictures soon!
